We get it. Whether good or bad, we’re here to help you. ONEOK has many options for when you need time away from work, whether it’s simply paid time off (PTO), or requesting disability. Let’s review your options below.
Paid Time Off (PTO), Including Holidays
PTO is granted for a 12-month period on the first day of employment and can be used for vacation, personal time away and personal illness1.

Floating Holidays
You receive two floating holidays a year to use between January 1 and December 31. During your first calendar year, eligibility is based on date of hire. Unused floating holiday hours will not be paid upon termination and will not be carried over to the next calendar year.
Personal/Family Care
You receive a maximum of 24 hours (full time) or 12 hours (part time) of personal/family care time. During your first calendar year, eligibility is based on date of hire. Personal/Family care allows time off for medical appointments, personal illness, a covered family member’s medical appointments or illness and other leaves as required by state law. Unused personal/family care hours will not be paid upon termination and will not be carried over to the next calendar year.
Short-Term and Long-Term Disability
Disability plans are here to support you when you need to take an extended leave from work, whether for the planned or unexpected.
Do This
Contact HR Solutions
Regardless of your circumstances, please contact HR Solutions and your direct supervisor as soon as possible to discuss the leave benefits available to you. In addition, our Employee Assistance Program through Lyra has an app that offers mental health and work/life support when you need it.

Know your benefits
You may be eligible for this benefit when an injury, illness or medical condition prevents you from performing your job for three consecutive days or more than 24 work hours. Your years of employment determine the amount of weeks granted.
You can manage your ONEOK leave and short-term disability benefits (such as filing a claim or returning to work) through Unum at 866-868-6737 or on Unum’s portal.
You are automatically enrolled in long-term disability coverage. After a six-month waiting period, the policy generally pays you 50% of your base salary, up to $10,000 per month, until you reach normal Social Security normal retirement age or are no longer disabled.

Maternity, Paternity and Adoption Leave
You are eligible for up to six weeks of leave, paid at 100% of your salary, to bond with your newly born or adopted child. Just keep in mind your leave must be taken consecutively and start by the end of the third month following the birth or adoption. (If the employee is the birthing parent, they will start leave once they have been released from short-term disability.) The birth or adoption must also take place after your start date.
Important
Newborn or adopted children aren’t automatically added to the ONEOK Health Plan, even if both parents are enrolled. You must complete a benefit change in Workday within 90 days of the birth or adoption if you want coverage (there is no need to wait for state-issued documents, such as the birth certificate, to submit your change in Workday).
